— Dark Secrets And Mysteries Of Koholint

Dark Secrets And Mysteries Of Koholint is a book found within the Mabe Village Library in Link's Awakening. Like the seven other books found within the Library, this particular book tells information about the game. In particular the Dark Secrets And Mysteries Of Koholint is a book that tells Link how to properly navigate inside of the Wind Fish.

When Link first enters the Mabe Village Library, he is unable to read this book as the font size is too small.[1] Link will need to return later after completing much of the Trading Sequence and acquiring the Magnifying Lens. Once Link is able to read the book, he finds a series of arrows, which correspond to the correct path to travel in the Wind Fish to reach the Shadow Nightmares. There are three possible paths.
